I just test fired my new G21. It’s a beautiful gun. 250 rounds - no malfunctions. I believe it’s the best of the best.
Just sent my G 21 back to Georgia to get a tiny part replaced and sent a note asking that they refurbish whatever is needed to be done on this old 25+ yr old gun.1 week later they sent it back with 25 parts replaced-no charge.Never seen anything like this before.Glad I bought about 6 of these over the years and now know why. Amazing company
I have a gen 3 SF Glock 21 , with the full picatinny rail, i been thinking about sending it back to Glock even though it's never given me problems, I'm kinda hesitating because they don't make em with the pic rail anymore.... thinking it could be worth something in the future ...but it is reassuring to hear that you had no problems sending you gun in to Glock ,and getting it back in a short time frame....my 21 sits in the safe hardly ever fired dam near brand new condition,I want to carry it , but for now I carry a Glock 30S
I couldn’t agree more! Glocks tech support is second to none! Yes, I am a self-proclaimed Glock fan boy!
I'm on my 3rd glock I've got a 19x a 20 and I traded a 43 in on my 19 I didn't like the 43
I've got a 19x a 20 and 40 I tried the sig x ten I also own the 9mm p320 and the peice of crap almost blew my foot off
I say the 19x is the best Glock made but I love my 10mm Glocks
Carried the G21sf on duty for 28 years wonderful pistol recently retired it to the night stand and carry the 43X now for EDC the best thing about the Glocks is the ease they come completely apart to clean great pistols.
I love how people call those of us who love Glocks- Fan boys. Whatever they say is fine, but one thing they can't say is that Glock doesn't work. Mine play well with "EVERYTHING" I've put through them. Yeah they aren't all customed out, unless you choose to do that, but one things for sure, it goes boom "EVERY SINGLE TIME" . Simple yes... Affective?? OH YES!!
Agreed
@@roc2trill710 Thank you brother
Say that again own a g21 and g19 mos best handguns in the world
I own a rock island armory M1911A1 but I am tryin get a full size glock.21 gen 4. Just for ammo capacity.
Its sub compact I forgot to say that.
I bought a brand new, Blue Label Gen 4 Glock 21 with Glock factory night sights, back in 2016. As of right now it is my only firearm that is chambered in .45 ACP, and was the second Glock that I have ever owned.
The very first Glock that I ever bought was a brand new, Blue Label Gen 3 Glock 22 with Glock factory night sights. I bought it brand new back in I think either March or April of 2009.
Back in 2018, I decided that I wanted to start buying/collecting firearms and wanted to start learning a lot more about them. I now try and buy at least 1 or 2 firearms a month. Or at a minimum, once every other month or so. Out of all the firearms that I own, I own more Glocks than any other brand of firearm that there is. And if Glock didn’t limit blue label sales to only be able to purchase a maximum of 2 brand new Blue Label Glocks a year, I would own even more.
I have trained both on and off duty with Glocks, for 13 plus years and counting and have come to trust them far more than any other firearms manufacturer. Many of the departments range Glocks have well in excess of over 50,000 rounds put through them. And most still have all of the original parts that were assembled on them, when they were built at Glocks assembly plant. I have also seen the range Glocks and my own personal Glocks exposed to every natural element that there is and continues to still function without a single issue. Temperatures that were -15 degrees below 0, up to hot summer days where the outside temperature was close to 120 degrees, not to mention however much hotter the ground temperature was? But the range Glocks and my personal Glocks have been covered in snow, ice, water, sand, dirt and varying degrees of mud and will still function 99% of the times. The few times one has malfunctioned due to being exposed to the elements, usually a failure to feed, as soon as the malfunction was cleared, the Glock would go back to continuing to function without a single other issue.
Because of my personal experiences with them, I have come to trust there reliability and durability over any other firearms manufacturers handguns.
Glocks do have some things that I don’t like about them but because they are as reliable and durable as they are, that is really the only thing that I care about the most. Even though I don’t like there ergonomics compared to other firearms on other handguns. I also shoot Glocks really well because of how long that I have trained with them.
For anyone wanting to buy a firearm, and the most important thing to them is the firearms reliability and durability. I highly recommend for them to buy a Glock, or at the very least consider buying one and looking at them in great detail.
J R 16 years and counting I have carried glocks and they have never failed me for duty use!
69deputy, very nice! Which ones do you prefer? Same with What Gen’s do you like?
Stay safe out there brother!
Absolutely love my G21. Qualified for my conceal carry with this weapon. I of course use a much small compact pistol to conceal and have retired the G21 to home defense but, 0 complaints with this weapon. Very easy to clean and disassemble. Overall probably my favorite handgun in my collection.
I own a G21 & I carry it sometimes. Yes it’s a little bulky & a little heavy but I find it to be manageable to carry. I purchased a nice leather holster & it makes a huge difference in carry compared to Kyodex
I have a G21.... absolute BEAST of a pistol. One of the easiest pistol to shoot with right out the box!
Amen! Just simple and sexy
My next Glock will be the Glock 21.
I love my 21! I have no complaints.
The G21 Gen 4 started my addiction to Glock pistols!! My favorite so far!! Very sweet shooter!! Awesome video review!!!
Thank-you. My first Glock was a G26 and I still carry it as my EDC.
Carrying a 1911 in the Corps and seeing what it could do, 45acp is my round. Was introduced with the Glock 21 n been my baby ever since . 13 rounds, Stevie Wonder friendly to operate n break down. I have big hands n it fits perfect. Accurate as he'll n never jammed.
I traded a keltec pmr 30 for one of these glocks and they are well made weapons
Is it fully automatic?
It is semi-auto.
I own 7 Glocks. 19, 21sf, 23, 26, 30sf, 42 & 43x.
Out all those the 30sf is the most violent to shoot but the 21sf is the smoothest easiest shooting one of them all. Perfect bed side gun.
Which do u like better 26 or 43x? & Out of 21 and 23?
I own one of those. A fine piece of gun craftmanship.
I found a used but never fired one for 350.00 . It took me about 400 rounds to figure it , now I can shoot it exceptionally well. I now have several thousand rounds through it without one failure of any kind. It just might be my favorite pistol to shoot now.
I’m buying this pistol in a couple of weeks so excited. This will be my first pistol I’m buying
Nice , be careful
Great buy I grabbed the glock 30 decided I wanted small fire power for the car.
Rack Stackin great decision..I have the 36 and wish I went with the 30..but hey, it’ll do it’s job
@@ericcole5507 what's wrong with the 36 ain't that double stack to
Rack Stackin it actually isn’t 😢 it’s a single and only holds 6+1 and that’s my only issue...if it were a double, and had atleast 8to10 it would b amazing... but I think they were trying to go for a 1911 single stack 45....it’s a beautiful, but just wish she held a few more! Haha
Just bought this model today and compared to my 45 colt commander, could have bought two glocks with money to spare for what I paid for the colt . I wanted the Glock 41 but none to be found , so got this Glock 21 . Amazing gun for the price.
I absolutely love my glock 45. Its accurate as any I've shot with just the stock sights. I'm gonna upgrade. Dont need to just like infrared. Most every gun o own is glock or Smith and Wesson.
I got mine a couple of weeks ago and I love it!!! It fires well no misfires or mishaps while feeding and firing. The one thing I noticed right away was the big difference in the way the weapon feels empty and loaded. Empty it feels front heavy and awkward, with a full magazine it feels balanced and even across the grip of your hand. The few upgrades I gave it right away were Ameriglo Spartan night sights and a Streamlight 7a weapon light. I do keep this by me while I sleep. I hate to say this because I love my G45 9mm Glock as my EDC, but I think he found a replacement.
Just bought my first Glock can wait til I take it to the range
My absolute favorite! Never fails!💯💖
Your reviews are a pleasure to watch. Concise, informative, and to the point. I've been a subscriber for a number of years, and you channel is my first to go to when I'm researching a gun. Thank you.
Thank you very much!
Gene. Love my Glock 21 Gen4!
A real mans gun
@Virus world That's because she's an alpha female. The G21 is only for alphas.
Dear Glock. Please make a single stack, Commander size 1911. They will be your next record breaking sales gun.
exactly what i did. i moved from a Para Ordnance P1445 .45acp. the G21 Gen4 is a great firearm. everyday carry for me. recoil is different but reduced enough to be able to accommodate my lh shoulder which is screwed and stapled together now after three surgeries. i can now fire off 50 rds at the range with very little shoulder deterioration.
That is one serious Glock right there
The Glock 21 is special to me as I got my LTC back in the mid 90's with a Gen 2.
Just got this gun as my first gun purchase. It’s great 💯
Looking for my first gun purchase as well. I'm really interested in this one.
@Bad Lamb Records what's the difference between the two?
I just bought it as my second pistol and I absolutely love it! Recoil is a lot less felt that what you would think when someone mentions 45acp
John Doe The Glock 19 is a pretty good bit smaller. Same build basically but the Glock 21 is one of the largest Glocks.
@@fanofbama14 I thought the glock.34 was with it's longslide.
Always enjoy your informative and intelligent videos.
Great gun. Just a offensive weapon to take control of any situation. Hits hard and will not disappoint you. Thank you for making this video bub. Great job.
Just picked up the 21,nice,superb,awsome!!
You won’t be disappointed with it 😁😁
Incredibly informative! Thanks!
Thank-you.
Thank you for your highly articulate and highly informative video.
Thank you.
As always, great, detailed review!
Thank you.
I have one and love it!
I have the Glock 20 and now I'm looking to get the Glock 21 gen 4 great guns
Just purchase this Version of the Glock. Thank you for the information!
Great informational video bro🙏🏾💯
so excited I can't wait I've wanted one for so long I'm more excited about the Glock than I am about the AR-15 that I bought the day before... Which also went pending
I love this gun, as well as my springfield xdm 45. Thanks, great video and review of glock 21 gen 4. I also love my sar st45.👍
Great review! Thanks!
+Jack Aragon Thank you.
Great review.... answered all my questions👍
Thank you.
Still my absolute favorite CCW.
"13 fully loaded"
Pffft... 14, one in the chamber ready to go 😉
Buys drum mag
i 💘 my Glock21 gen4..my 1911 is a kimber..both great shooters no issues
And great review by the way!! 👍
The G21, 30, 36 and 41 have octagonal rifling and not polygonal like the other calibers. I know I'm splitting hairs, but it's something note worthy. I love my G21 and happy to see the review. Keep up the good work.
Thank-you, I agree that the G21 is a great gun.
You are absolutely correct in that the .45's use octagonal rifling, I believe they only use that in the .45 acp and .45 gap.
The majority of their other guns use hexagonal rifling.
Polygonal is just a generic geometry term loosely translating to "multi-angle" which covers any 3 or more sided structure.
Hammer Striker Thank you for the correction. I've always enjoyed your videos. Honest informative and strait to the point. Keep up the good work!
+leanhard1987 Thank-you for watching our channel!
It's creates a tighter gas seal, which will fire at slightly higher velocities than other .45acp pistols.
It’s shoots very well.The new Glock 21Gen 4 is the second largest glock full size 45 next in line to the Glcok 42 Gen 4 45 full size
Fuck are you talking about
I have been a long time subscriber to your channel, and gladly so. Your gun reviews are well detailed, and to the point. More so than a lot of other firearms reviewers on YT. I presently have the G21 Gen 4 on order with my local gun shop. I first opted for the FS (short frame) model, but my dealer informed me that it was on back order with a lengthy waiting period. Therefore the full size in by this week. I first rented the G21 at the range, and was amazed by its very manageable recoil. Center mass every shot!
+82 Luft Thank you. Good news for you, the Gen 4 with no backstrap installed is basically the same as the Short Frame Gen 3. With the smallest back strap installed you get the equivalent of a standard Gen 3. So, in the end, you basically got your SF . Happy shooting and enjoy your G21.
Dear Hammer Striker, thank you for your timely reply. You have set my mind at ease as far as diminishing the grip size on my soon to be delivered G21 Gen 4. Keep up the fine, in depth firearm reviews that you are so good at doing. All My Very Best, 82 Luft
I bought my Glock 21 gen4 at Cabela's 6 months ago and got a $50 off coupon at the door with purchase of $500 or more and I really like it,feels good in the hand now going for the G20-10mm and G31-.357sig
at Cabela's at that time the Glock 21 was $568 before the $50 off Coupon that's below what most Dealers sell for at $649 and you think I paid too much? apparently you haven't purchased a new Glock lately,i think I got one hell of a deal-original price was $90 under what most dealers price at then got $50 off $568-so I paid too much really?
i disagree
I have the 21 and the 31 both gen4. I like the 21 a lot, but I freakin' love the 31.
The price of the gun before the door coupon was $568 on sale then taking off the $50 coupon the final price before taxes was $518 at checkout
I have the 31, its wonderful but the only downfall is ammo price and availability. Not always easy to find and a box of Winchester white box 50 res will run about $30
I want this but I’m a short fella with medium size hands. Guess I should rent one at my range before I buy? One for sale right now online.
The Gen 4 comes with replaceable backstraps. If you don't install one the gun will be equivalent to a Gen 3 SF, the smallest grip available on the .45 acp Glocks. That may work for you.
After watching this and other videos, I am definitely going to get a Gen 4 Glock 21. I own a G17 and I love it. Looking forward to taking this new pistol to the range.
Enjoy your new Glock when you get it home.
Thanks, just watched a video on it.
Just bought mine today!
I’ve been thinking about getting this gun...but after watching the video and all the comments here...I’m ready to pick this one up👍
Great choice.
I have one of these.....never fired a round out of it....but pretty sure I will Love it!!! Great Vid!!!
Thank you. If you can find some ammo to feed it, I am sure you will enjoy shooting it.
Great video! Thank you.
Thank you.
My first glock was a then new glock 21 gen 2 ,,i had to sell later but loved that gun.
Local pawn shop has one. If my permit approves and background check clears I will be highly tempted to buy it...
I just purchased my second Glock. I decided on the Glock 21 Gen4 I have heard nothing but great reviews on it.
I love my G21 gen 4. Smooth as Tennessee whisky.
I love my glock21gen 4 45acp and I will never get rid of it
The G21 is my at home carry weapon of choice I got the crimson trace laser grip on her loaded with 230 grain PDX1's
How much did you pay for the 21
Great narrating on this video man I’ll subscribe
Thank you.
Thank you
I have wanted A G21 for 30 years but, I didn't buy one. Instead, I bought a G30 gen 4 and bought a few 13 rounders for reload. I love the choice I made.i carry my 30 all year long. It in my opinion the best carry 45 cal. Thanks for your video.
The G 30 sub compact is an outstanding pistol. Very manageable recoil for its size. Glock got it right with this one. It is my every day carry and night stand gun
Great review. I'm buying my first pistol and your video was very informative, thanks!
Glad we could help, let us know if you have any questions as you do your research.
What did you end up buying?
Great video
Great video bub’.
Very good explanations!👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you.
Thanks very informative keep it coming to learn more thank u
Thank you.
I have 9mm,10mm and .45's.You hear all the internet/magazine jibberish about how today,9mm is just about equal to the larger sizes,but you have to admit,.45 sure does leave a big old hole.
And it’s like being kicked by a mule if you are shot with a .45.
Energy=Mass. What the 9 lacks in weight and bullet diameter it makes up for in velocity. 1100fps vs. 850fps.
Currently carrying a Glock 21 Gen 4 with a tunsten guide rod and some Critical Defense 220gr. Flexlock Rounds. Damn good shooter and is one of my favorite 45acps to shoot. I like the beavertail backstrap myself.
Badass gun i have one and i love it
i love the way that mag fits flesh
Great video very informative just purchased a glock 21 get 4
Thank you.
Thanks
Very Good review i just bought one yesterday
Thank you.
Picking one up tomorrow with a 30 round kriss mag, and 3 13 round mags
I went with this same model for sheer reliability- it’s not pretty but it goes bang whenever I need it to👍🏻
A very nice piece of equipment.
Is !
Very informative. About to buy my first handgun. Been looking at different makes and models but glock seems wht I'm looking to buy.
Thank you.
Love my gen 3 SF 😊
Good vid thank you
Thank you.
Great video 👍
Thank you.
I rather die with 1 gun than die with a gun collection.
I’m receiving one today and I want to learn as much as I possibly can.
If you don’t mind me asking, where did you purchase it? I’ve been trying to find one and I can’t find any!!
I like this Gunn Full Size 21 ACP 45
I just bought one 15 minutes ago. If you want you can buy a slide,barrel, guide rod and spring and convert it to a 10mm. Almost forgot the extractor you need to change that to. I am keeping it a 45 but will start buying some of the parts for conversion.
I got both the 21 and the 20
@@bobyjones3905 🤨 I'm jealous 😅
Perfect truck gun.
Amazing piece of hardware
My favorite .45 acp.
I just put this gun on layaway for Christmas. It will be replacing my Springfield XDs 45acp for daily carry. I like the 13+1 in the chamber. I'm looking forward to my first Glock. Thanks for the review
Everybody's budget and expenses are different. "Inexpensive" is relative and layaway is a good solution when you need it.
@Cool Story Bro How can I not afford it? Not being able to afford it has nothing to do with it. I have 6 guns & plenty of ammo already. Instead of dumping money all at once onto another gun, I rather stack my money and place this gun aside for Christmas. It's called making smart financial decisions. Lol
@Cool Story Bro The funny thing is, you're projecting your own idea of my supposed "need" to put things on "layaway" due to not being able to afford it, or due to lack of hard work. 😂 Dude I have plenty of money & toys. The reason why I have plenty of money and toys is due to hard work & good financial decisions. I know when to buy things in full and when to wait. If I bought EVERYTHING I wanted when I wanted it, I'd be broke. Life isnt about blowing money on EVERYTHING I want when I want it. Money is a tool. I use it as such. Lol
I have this gun and love it. Very comfortable to shoot, compared to a standard 1911 (in my opinion)
I grew up shooting colt 1911's because my dad is old school and thats just what he had to teach me. In my personal opinion I'd say the 1911 and glock 20 shoot about the same for me. The fact that the glock holds 13+1 is the reason I have a glock in my night stand or on my hip wherever its legal.
Edit, I own a glock 21 but have been shopping 10mm a little too much.
I got the Glock 21 SF i cant wait to test it in the range...Gen 3 only coz i live in california which is sucks...
+James Rock Very cool! I hope it serves you well.
I feel bad for California, New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts gun owners
Puerto Rico's Gun Laws are the worst just like California but with no Mag restrictions
I have the gen 3 sf great gun won’t be disappointed
@@iLLBiLLsRoastBeats Yea its wack af bro smh.
I really like my all gray model 21.
I'm in the process of buying this gun...felt great in my hand n looked awesome...the guy at the gun store said it only held 10 bullets in a mag tho
@Brett H no RI isn't a 10 round state ...I asked the owner of the store ...that's what I thought it was too
Afriend of mine owns one,and he lets me shoot it when we go shooting.Am not a particular fan of .45 cal,and the grip is a bit large for my hand,but boy can I shoot that mod 21 accurately !.It has been a conflict on whether to buy one,but compared to $1200 45’s on the market,it is a real bargain.Like all Glocks,it does the job and does it well.
I really want one but I’m in love with my Springfield XDS 4.0 45acp
I have each of the magazine options 5,6and7 round mags. I absolutely trust my life with it!! But I might get one for owb carry
Im thinking to trade in my XDs 45acp for the glock 21, more capacity, i also have the XDs mod2 in 9mm so i dont think i need the XDs mod1 45acp.
I have two XDs's in 4.0" and three in 3.3".
Better sights
Better Trigger
Better grip than glocks out of the box.
Keep your XDs's for carry .
Now add a XDM.
Got my glock21 gen4 today.
Will you be doing a review of the gen 5 mos 21 not to many people have been doing reviews of the 21
Man that thing makes some big holes.
That's what she said
Love my 21, also converted it to a 10mm
10MM Some ass The Velocity & Range on that Shit is Ass. SMH.
Steven Brown compared to a .45acp the 10mm has much better range and velocity. There are some rounds that are up to 2400fps. No round made for the .45acp gets that fast, ever.
Cringe
